BXBX NOVEL Chapter 277
Chapter 277: Chapter 122-first confrontation (3)
There was a breath stuck in his chest, and the flames of anger were burning.
It was just like the conversation between Xiao ran and Shen Yiming in the Imperial prison last night.
Their path to advancement had been completely sealed off, and the anger that erupted was something that even they themselves could not imagine.
Early in the morning.
These people gathered on the Vermilion Bird Avenue.
At noon, the Vermilion Bird Avenue was full of scholars. It was so crowded that one could not see the end of it.
There were simply too many people.
They all rushed to the South Gate.
The dragon’s blood Warriors wielded their swords and stood guard outside the palace gates. A general with a cold expression berated,””Those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!”
An Imperial Army soldier drew a white line a hundred Zhang from the South Gate.
On the other side were the Imperial Army and the Dragonblood Warriors, who were glaring like tigers.
They only wanted to seek justice, and their rationality had not completely disappeared. Faced with this scene, no one crossed the line.
“We want to see his Majesty. We want His Majesty to uphold justice for us!”
“Someone cheated in the exam hall. You have to give us an explanation!”
“If this matter is not resolved, it would be unfair to all the scholars in the world.”
Countless scholars cried out.
The general sent his Deputy to guard this place while he went in to report the matter.
Outside the hall of proclaimed peace.
The civil and military officials were divided into two groups. One group was standing, while the other group was kneeling on the ground.
The people standing didn’t want to get involved in this matter.
And these people kneeling on the ground were asking Emperor Sheng Wen to uphold justice for this matter and to bring justice to all the scholars in the world.
Fu Xianhe was the one who kneeled in front. He had been kneeling there for the whole night.
At this moment.
Under everyone’s gazes, the deans of the four great academies-Longyuan Academy, Jixia Academy, xuankui Academy, and yingyue Academy-had all arrived.
They knelt on the ground, side by side with Fu Xianhe.
They were also scholars.
The occurrence of this matter was a slap to their faces.
If this matter started, it would be completely difficult to stop it in the future.
If there was a first time, there would be a second time ...
In the blink of an eye.
Another two hours passed.
The three old men walked over together.
Upon seeing them, the crowd was once again shocked. These three were the most powerful people in great Xia. They were the Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, and Grand Guardian.
The three of them didn’t kneel down when they reached Fu Xianhe.
They just stood there calmly, representing their attitude.
The officials who were originally observing saw the Three Ducal Ministers ‘attitudes. Even a pig would know what to do at this time. They hurriedly knelt beside their colleagues.
In an instant.
All of the officials, the four great academies, and the three Ducal Ministers were kneeling on the ground.
Yuan cultivation Hall.
Emperor Sheng Wen was lying on the soft chair with his eyes closed.
Eunuch Zhu walked in from outside and stopped in front of him.”Your Majesty, the officials from the third Duke and the fourth Grand Palace are all here.”
“Oh.” Emperor Sheng Wen replied calmly.
“There’s news from the South Gate. Tens of thousands of scholars are blocking a hundred Zhang away. They’re asking Your Majesty to seek justice for them.”
“Did any of the princes go over?” Emperor Sheng Wen asked.
“Not yet,”
“Let’s wait a little longer!” Emperor Sheng Wen said.
Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Outside the hall of proclaimed peace.
Some of the officials knelt until their legs were numb and their blood couldn’t flow. In addition, they hadn’t eaten for a day and had been beaten by the morning dew the whole night. They were very uncomfortable and some of them couldn’t hold on any longer.
At this moment.
Eunuch Zhu walked over and said,”His Majesty’s Dragon body has recovered. He invites the ministers to discuss matters in the Xuanhe Hall.”
Upon hearing this.
Some of the officials excitedly stood up and entered the hall.
Emperor Sheng Wen sat on the Dragon Throne.”I caught a cold yesterday, and my dragon body is sick. I wanted to see all of you, but my dragon body did not allow me to.”
Fu Xianhe knelt on the ground.
“Lin Yunyi and the other candidates cheated on the exam grounds and hid the answers in their sleeves. They followed the clues and captured the left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites. From his mouth, they found out that it was ninth Highness who ordered him to secretly steal the ‘exam questions’ in the Ministry of Rites ‘warehouse and sell the answers to Lin Yunyi and the others. Your Majesty, please order us to bring His Highness back for investigation. ”
“Your Majesty, please issue an order to investigate the ninth Highness!” All the ministers agreed.
Only one person knelt on the ground, and that was the Minister of Justice, Lin weiyong.
Eunuch Zhu walked over and took the evidence from Fu Xianhe’s hands.
He presented the evidence to Emperor Sheng Wen.
Taking a look at the evidence, Emperor Sheng Wen was furious. He slammed his palm on the table and said,”who gave him the guts to steal the exam questions?”
Before anyone could answer, he continued.
He looked at Fu Xianhe and said,”you are in charge of this matter. I will let you handle it.” Remember, no matter who is involved, as long as they are involved in this matter and have irrefutable evidence, you can deal with them however you want. ”
“It’s Your Majesty!” Fu Xianhe replied.
“You’ve all kneeled for the whole night. Let’s drop the morning court session today and go back to rest!” Emperor Sheng Wen waved his hand.
“We will take our leave.” Everyone left.
Only the two of them were left in the hall.
Emperor Sheng Wen sighed.”They have disappointed me! He had bought them an entire day’s time, but no one could withstand the controversy and stand up. If he doesn’t have the determination to cut off all means of retreat, how can he make us think highly of him?”
“Your Majesty, the princes are just being considerate of their family.” Eunuch Zhu did not even believe it himself.
“I’ve already done what I should. Whether they can escape or not will depend on their own methods. ” Emperor Sheng Wen said.
He stood up from the Dragon Throne and left.
The divine sword guards.
A silver sword guard ran over and stood in the courtyard.”Lord Shen, vice Sword Master Qin asked you to go over immediately.
